Arranged over four floors, including a basement, each measuring 80 m², the house was reimagined in a contemporary way with an open kitchen, LED-lit cornices, white Silestone worktops and discreet designer lighting, while retaining the character of a 19th-century private mansion: chevron parquet, decorative plaster cornices, ceiling roses and moulded door surrounds.
Our architectural approach was to open the living room from front to back and replace an unsympathetic grey-aluminium conservatory with a winter garden in matt-black lacquered steel.
The first floor houses the principal suite, including a generous bathroom clad in 5 × 5 cm matt-white tiles. It has a spacious shower for two and a freestanding Alape bath overlooking the garden. Half-height mirrors open up the room through reflections that break up the regular rhythm of the white tiles.
The bedroom and dressing-room flooring was replaced with reclaimed Belgian industrial parquet, sanded and bleached. A large dressing room arranged around a central trouser-storage unit accommodates the owner’s clothing collection, while mirrors increase the sense of space. To prevent the suite from feeling too clinical, David Hicks wallpaper for Cole & Son decorates the headboard wall, with Starck pendants for Flos on either side of the bed.
On the top floor, two children’s bedrooms surround a large play area over two levels. The wooden staircase was replaced by an Eiffel-inspired black-steel staircase, repainted in a matt finish. Resilient concrete-coloured flooring softens the sound of children’s footsteps.
